Bridal Veil Falls, Leura, Cascade waterfall in Blue Mountains, Australia
Bridal Veil Falls is a cascade waterfall in the Blue Mountains west of Sydney that flows over sandstone cliffs into Jamison Valley below. It drops from about 880 meters above sea level, creating long white streams of water visible from the viewing area.
The Federal Pass is one of the heritage-listed Blue Mountains walking tracks; the falls sit on the section of it downstream of the Leura Cascades. The track runs through the Jamison Valley below Leura, south-east of the town in the Blue Mountains region of New South Wales.
The falls sit on Leura Falls Creek, downstream of the Leura Cascades, and the walking track that reaches them is part of the Federal Pass, one of the heritage-listed Blue Mountains walking tracks. Walkers link the two cascades on a single short route from Leura.
Access to the falls comes through a 954 meter return track along Cliff Drive that takes about 30 minutes to walk. Wear sturdy shoes as the sandstone surface can be slippery when wet, especially after rain.
The natural sandstone floor at the base of the lookout creates an elevated viewing platform from which visitors can see the falls from about 150 meters away. This stone formation allows for an unobstructed view across the valley without barriers blocking the sight line.
